Literally, tens of thousands of consumers have purchased expensive products from offending companies, thinking they were paying extra for a product that was truly natural and safe for their families, whose cleansing and moisturizing ingredients were made from certified organic, not conventional or petrochemical, material . As indicated in the previous issue of Organic Bytes, the OCA has issued Cease and Desist letters to not only the companies who tested positive for Dioxane with misleading organic brand claims, but also brands with organic brand claims that may have tested clean, but regardless use petrochemical compounds and/or no organic material in major cleansing and moisturizing ingredients. We would like to invite our readers to write a brief letter to these companies whose products you may have used, expressing your concerns,to help develop evidence in a lawsuit that will be filed on Earth Day if companies do not commit to cleaning up or dropping their organic claims. OCA requests that you include your address, and TAKE ACTION HERE, where you can read the slightly longer letter specifying which companies are at issue and why: http://www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_11457.cfm" Jen [green]Farmgirl Sisterhood Member #9[/green] The View From My Boots: www.bovesboots.blogspot.com [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
